Alan Buxley wrote I can tell you right now that you dont need that hack to assign VLANs on cisco switches (well, not if you are running reasonably up to date firmware on the cisco devices anyway - ie something less than 2 years old)
The latest public firmware for the 3550 is 3+ years old, FWIW, and the newer one I grabbed before they yanked it off the site wasn't much newer. IIRC (it was long ago) the hack was needed because the IETF attrib value is supposed to be a string, but the ciscos were expecting a binary integer encoding. I'll have to give the newer loads another whack at a straight authentication at some point and see if it indeed is fixed, but the hack works on the newer loads as well.
